Mental health conditions are having a devastating impact on young people across the world.

More and more young people are sharing their experiences and speaking out against stigma.

With greater investment, we can break the silence around #MentalHealth and ensure young people and their caregivers get the support they need https://t.co/0YBIBGut8j

Effective immediately, I have reinstated a Public Health Emergency in New Jersey.

This step does not mean any new restrictions. It simply allows state government to continue to respond to the ongoing threat that COVID-19 poses to our daily lives.

Today, I signed legislation that will require age-appropriate school security drills to prevent unnecessary traumatization of schoolchildren.

This action will ensure that our students are prepared in the event of an emergency while also protecting their mental health.

It's World Kindness Day! Do something nice for a friend or a stranger. It can be as simple as holding a door or offering a smile. A small act of kindness can have a huge impact.
